SpeakUp! is
a multimedia application written for children who need help with
speech feedback or are non verbal. Images can have speech or
sound waves associated with them that is played with the simple
click of mouse. Currently two formats are supported, one a
talking book and the second a speech board. For
text-to-speech, SpeakUp! uses Digital Equipment Corporation’s
DECTalk, providing excellent speech synthesis and control over
voice attributes; from a child to a husky man or woman.
Sound wave files are played through the computer’s own
multimedia speakers.
